AI Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the mCLIP Partial Prosthesis through a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent tympanoplasty, checking their hearing improvement post-surgery using pure-tone audiometry.
- - Out of 72 patients (66 adults, 6 children), 72.1% achieved a post-operative air bone gap of 20 dB or less, indicating positive audiological outcomes, with stable hearing observed in most cases.
- - The findings suggest that mCLIP Partial Prosthesis is both safe and effective for use in both adults and children, as demonstrated by low rates of adverse events and satisfactory hearing results.
Article Abstract
Purpose: This multicentric, retrospective study aimed to analyze the short-term safety and effectiveness of the mCLIP Partial Prosthesis.
Methods: Patients underwent tympanoplasty with implantation of a mCLIP Partial Prosthesis. Follow-up examination included ear microscopy and pure-tone audiometry to determine the post-operative pure tone average of the frequencies 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz (PTA). The post-operative PTA air bone gap (ABG) was used to evaluate the audiological outcome. A post-operative minimum and maximum follow-up period was not defined. Thus, the follow-up times of each study center were different, which resulted in different follow-up times for the audiological analysis and for adverse events (AE).
Results: 72 (66 adults, 6 children) patients were implanted with the mCLIP Partial Prosthesis. 68 (62 adults, 6 children) patients underwent audiological examination; all 72 patients were examined for adverse events. All patients (N = 68): 72.1% of the patients showed a PTA ABG of ≤ 20 dB. Individual post-operative bone conduction (BC) PTA thresholds were stable in 67 patients. The mean post-operative follow-up time was 78 ± 46 days. Children (N = 6): 5 out of 6 children showed a PTA ABG of ≤ 20 dB. None of the children reported a BC PTA deterioration of > 10 dB HL after the implantation. The mean post-operative follow-up time was 101 ± 45 days. Adverse events (all patients, N = 72): 15 (14 adults, 1 child) patients had AEs (27 AEs and 2 Follow-Ups). The mean post-operative follow-up time was 375 days.
Conclusion: Clinical data show satisfactory audiological parameters after implantation of the mCLIP Partial Prosthesis. The prosthesis is safe and effective for implantation in children and adults.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Medical Center Göttingen, 37075, Göttingen, Germany.
Objective: Middle ear surgery involves reconstruction of the ossicular chain, predominately using rigid implants. New middle ear prostheses strive to mimic the physiologic micromovements of the ossicular chain and prevent dislocation, protrusion, and preloading of the annular ligament due to pressure fluctuations.
Methods: Thirty-five patients were included in a monocentric, prospective observational study.
